Strange hibiscus

Long Beach, CA

I bought a plant with dark (almost black) small maroon leaves that was labled as "hibiscus". It does have a hibiscus type flower that only lasts one day (also dark redish). The leaves are small as well as the plant.
Anyone know what this one might be? Is it something new? I have not seen these before.

Well, it's definately not the "red hot" one. I have that one, and this is much different. The leaves are very small and uniformly very dark maroon. The flower is very dark also (like a black-red rose color). The leaves are sort of the color of the first picture in the second link, but they are much smaller, and the flower is totally different.
I must figure out how to post a picture in here as it is too hard to describe this one. I will try to get a pic. of it tomorrow.
